you know when a team is legit when dudes start wishing injuries and the absolute worse things on teams
Never change NT

Rockets played like trash and won the game , still not sold on the roster/scheme

More reason for him to work on his defense apparently

Weird game from CP. But he showed a willingness to sacrifice his game for the system which is huge long term.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Which other team in the west can you be sold on their scheme or roster?

Sas and okc are not a superior caliber

I LOVE when EJ remembers that he's a scorer and not just a catch and shoot guy. He was terrific off the bounce.

122 on the defending champs and Paul isn't acclimated yet. Offense was historically great last year and could be even better this year.

He had four and ones. Mind boggling.

How bad is Paul's leg doe? A bit concerning, he needs to play as many games as possible to gel

I dont know how they handle it. Practice fights aren't uncommon but its rare that someone actually gets chipped up so seriously...

Any reason why McGee didn't play last night?

 

[addict4sneakers]

All time great talent

I just assumed that Bell was a better play. Nothing more than that.

But Kevon Looney played.

Lol good point. Steve Kerr being Steve Kerr. I'm ready for corner three McGee also.

Sas and okc are not a superior caliber

GSW obviously- Especially when teams are basically trying to beat them by using their style
SAS- while not as talented, Pops system is proven
OKC- defensively can be a nightmare matchup, but offensively cant shoot good enough to win in a series
Hou- regular season they will look good in matchups, but Playoff Harden appears to be a real "thing" and CP3 definitely is buns in the playoffs.
Portland- No chance
LAC- wont even sniff 40 wins this season. Blake will break Austin's face by allstar
Lakers- 2- 3 years away
Sac-
Denver-
Phoenix-
Grizz-

Just occurred to me that NT jinxed Gordon Hayward’s injury by calling him white Paul George
